<h2 id="set-mail-forwarding-with-phpldapadmin">Set mail forwarding with phpLDAPadmin</h2>
<p>To forward emails to other email addresses, you can add value in LDAP attribute
<code>mailForwardingAddress</code> of user object.</p>
<p>For example, if you want to forward all emails sent to <code>user@domain.ltd</code> to
two addresses: <code>forward@domain.ltd</code>, <code>user@gmail.com</code>. Steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Login to phpLDAPadmin (https://[your_server]/phpldapadmin ) as LDAP root dn
<code>cn=Manager,dc=xx,dc=xx</code> or 'cn=vmailadmin,dc=xx,dc=xx'.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Find the LDAP object of email account which you want to forward emails in
left panel of phpLDAPadmin, click the ldap object, phpLDAPadmin will show you
detailed LDAP attributes/values in right panel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a new LDAP attribute <code>mailForwardingAddress</code> to this mail account, set
value to first forwarding address <code>forward@domain.ltd</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Repeat step #3, add another email address: <code>user@gmail.com</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Save your changes.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Now all emails sent to <code>user@domain.ltd</code> will be forwarded to both
<code>forward@domain.ltd</code> and <code>user@gmail.com</code>.</p>
<p>If you want to save a copy of forwarded email, please add <code>user@domain.ltd</code> as
additional value of LDAP attribute <code>mailForwardingAddress</code>.</p>
